The sheer number of quotationed reasons there will be "no films" makes me think they all mean "lazy employees" "goofing off" and "inviting their friends". Thanks, Melissa.
I used to work at a movie theater. "Lazy Employees", "goofing off", and "inviting our friends" is surely closer than "private screenings", "special events", and "technical repairs".
I personally read this sign as saying "our manager is out for the week on vacation, so we're going to be smoking pot, and doing other bad things in here while watching the new Pokemon movie."
I gotta start carrying my camera everywhere. I've actually never seen quotation marks used correctly on a sign. Really - under what circumstances would you NEED them on a sign?
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

Seriously.
